During the Oct. 14 Derby City Council meeting, the American Legion Post 408 Foundation was recognized for continuing support of the Derby Police Department’s K-9 officer, Jax.
When Jax officially joined Derby PD a couple of years ago, the foundation helped raise $3,500 to purchase a bulletproof vest for Jax and pledged continuing support. Most recently, with additional equipment needed, the Foundation donated more than $600 to Derby PD for food, collars, leashes, etc.
